Read below how the entire Ladyburg staff get together for the big sniff test.
Candle Fragrances
Thinking about candles, my first thought is the scent. What is my mood? What season is it? Do I want something fruity? Am I looking for a floral scent? You get the idea, because I am sure you do it too.
When I started talking to Crystal and Morgan (co-owners of Ladyburg) about how they picked the scents – fragrances – of their candles, I figured that I was in for a really intense conversation. I thought they might have a super precise way of deciding what fragrances pair well with each other or that they did lots of research. I was wrong!
Deciding on the fragrances is all trial and error for Ladyburg. The oils are lined up and the entire staff are invited to test different combinations – saying yes to some and no to others.
Clear winners are chosen – Oakmoss & Amber, Green Tea & Lemongrass, Red Ginger & Saffron – just to name a couple. (It is interesting to note that not all fragrances are candle safe and Ladyburg ensures that their choices are clean burning.)
